`To alijuhomit may' concern.- f y Be itknown that I, JOSEPH R. BAILEY, of Woon- `socket, in the countyof. `Providence and `in the State of Rhode Island, haveinvented a newand useful Improvement in `Plancspand I do herebyfdeclare that the fbllowing'is` a full, clear, and exact ldescription thereof, reference beingV had to the annexed drawing `making part of this specification, in which-7 Figure `1 is a` perspective View'of` my improved 4lnench-plane. l z v v 4 l i Figure 2 is atrausverse section thereof;l

.figures i Y v Thisinrention relates to bench-planes; and

n forth hereinafter.

`my invention, I 'will tion more specifically. .v Y

Bench-planes, the lstocksof which are made of wood,

are liable `to warp when 'exposed 'to dampness, even-it' n made of thoroughly seasonedwood, and the wearingsui'face is also often worn away lnore rapidly in some parts than in others, so that the workman, ithe wants er must have a good and 'accurate plane, is obliged to `level its under surface from time to'time, l

It has been my object to obviate this necessity by l arming the under surface of the wooden stock A by a metallic sc le,\, extendingthe. entire length of the Corresponding lettersrefer to identical parts in both Thelimprovement consists in Vproviding the woodenk s'tockwith a metallic solapas will 'be more fully set- 'Io `'enable those skilled in theart to make and use proceed to'descrihe its construcstock, and provided at the proper point with a transverse throat, through which the cutting-edge of the bit-G projects, the latter being provided with a sliding cap, and both being secured in the stock by a key,

D, in the ordinary manner.

The'stock has alsoa'handle, A', as usual. In order to make this sole perfectly smooth andlevel on its under surface, and prevent scratchingoi" the woodby projecting points', which projections or unevenesses might he formed if it were screwed to the the sides of such stock, to which they are securedf'by What I claim as my inveutiomand desire to secure by Letters Patent, iF A bench-plane,'pmvided with a metallic sole, B,

with flanges B,'through which said sole is fastened to the stock by means of screws, or their equivalents,

substantially as described. i
